I suspect that Brian Popp’s numbers above reflect his work on special teams. Popp is no longer listed on the roster shown in the university’s website.

NOTE: At Pitt the weak side inside linebacker is typically called the “Money,” while the strong side or middle inside linebacker is called the “Mike”. “Star” is a common designation for strong outside linebacker.
